Now I see in part saith the Apostle but then shall I know even as I am known Then shall it behold and know the invisible Nature of the Blessed Trinity the Power of the Father the Wisdom of the Son the Goodness of the Holy Ghost the bottomless Depths of God's Judgments now unsearchable and past finding out shall then be seen even as the Prophet â—â—id Psal 36. 9. In thy Light we shall see Light And in beholding God it shall behold the Causes Natures and Ends of all things which God hath made of Nature to be known because they are more clear and conspicuous in God than in themselves Then shall all Men be known of all neither shall any either Quality or Action be secret to any and this is the end of all ouâ— Endeavouâ—s John 17. 3. This is Everlasting Life saith our Saviour to know thee the true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent Also it shall be ravished with perfect Love both towards God for the infinite Causes of Love which in him shall appear and towards the Saints for that it shall perceive them to love and to be belov'd of God Both so much as it self and for the same cause it shall love God more than it self because it shall be sensible that God loveth it more than it is able to love it self the Saints it shall love equal with it self as being Members of one Body whereof Christ is Head for if the Spirit of Man hath Power to cause so great Unity as we see between the Members of one Body the Spirit of God which is the Soul of that Body of Saints shall cause so much more perfect Union by how much it is a more noble and powerful Form and giveth a more noble and durable Being Hereupon it followeth First That it shall conceive so many particular Joys as it shall see causes of Love in God which are infinite Secondly That it shall equally rejoice at the Felicity of every one as at that which is proper to it self whereby all the Saints shall partake of one another's Excellencies for in this Union Love shall be in its full Perfection the Nature of which Vertue is to make all things common It shall also enjoy a most sweet Peace and Concord in it self for the Body and Soul of every just Man which in this Life are always in Combat by reason of the Contraries between them the one being Spiritual the other Carnal shall then enjoy a compleat Peace by consent there shall not be any Distraction or Strife any more but they shall be carried one Way and be guided by one Will and that is the Will of God The Will of God shall be the Will of the Saints as they shall give a full and free Consent to the Will of God so shall God in all things consent unto their Will for how can the Head disagree from the Members how can one perfect Spirit be contrary to it selâ— Herewith it shall be advanc'd to a most high and happy degree of Honour for that which here was drown'd in the Putrefaction of the Flesh constantly in Miseries destitute both of Comfort and of Help entangled with Infirmities loaden with loathsome Sins in a word doing nothing but Sin finding nothing but Miseries which are the Reward of Sin God only and alone mov'd by his tender Mercy will take it to himself he will cleanse it he will cure it he will cloath it with perfect Righteousness he will adopt it for one of his Sons and make it a fellow heir of his most glorious Kingdom he will incorporate it with his only Son who is in all things equal with himself In respect thereof that of the Prophet David may be very fitly applied to those Saints Psal 82. 6. I have said that ye are Gods and that ye are all the Children of the most High To these shall be added great Ability for whatsoever they shall have a will to do they shall have Power to perform because he that is Omnipotent shall in all things consent to the Will thereof To these also Security shall be added for as it shall enjoy all things it can desire so shall it not fear to lose any thing it shall enjoy because neither it shall be willing to lose them or God deprive them of them against their Wills neither can any Power take that away which God wills they shall retain Lastly it shall be filled with perfect and unspeakable Pleasure and Joy which no Understanding is able to apprehend and this shall proceed from the clear Vision of Almighty God in beholding of him Face to Face 1 Cor. 13. in beholding of him as he is wherein consisteth the Essential Glory of
of this Sacrifice of Thanks giving for thy great Mercy in appearing so wonderfully for me to my great Ease and Comfort in that dreadful and painful Hour of Child-bearing that thou hast been pleased safely to deliver me from the Perils of it and to lengthen out my Days in the Land of the Living and to see the Fruit of my hard Labour and Travail Lord grant that it may prosper and grow up in thy Fear to thy Glory and both our Comforts And grant Lord that I may live worthy of this Mercy and make thee some grateful Returns for all thy Mercies Pardon and forgive me all my Sins and preserve me from sining against thee any more And all I beg upon the account of thy dear Son To whom with the O Father and with the blessed Spirit be all Honour Praise and Glory both now and for evermore A Prayer for all Christian Vertues as Love Faith Hope and Charity c.

Hearts shall be opened and every one rewarded according to their Doings Lord grant that thy Graces may all flourish in me as the Bay-Tree that so by my good Example others may return to thee their Lord and Saviour and so have cause to sing Praises to thy Great Name for all thy Wondrous Works Lord keep me from Insolence and Pride and grant me true Humility and Zealousness of Mind and give me a

against thy Children Give me Grace O Lord to follow the Example of all good Men and keep me from that hateful Sin of Sloath and Iâ—leness which is the High-way to Want and Beggary Grant me a contented mind and moderate my Desâ—res towards the Things of this World and Lord be with me at the Hour of Death and when I go hence and be no more seen I may be admitted into thy Kingdom of Glory that I may

us be puffed up in the Day of Prosperity but keep us in Evenness of Temper in either extreme that we may live in thy Fear and die in thy Favour And all this we beg upon the Account of thy dear Son and

I wâ—â— wounded unto death and I perceived â—â— not I was bound I was beaten an◠〈…〉 garded it not yea my deadly 〈…〉 were a delightful tickling unto 〈…〉 I took pleasure in satisfying the 〈…〉 my Lusts and like Solomon's Fool I laugâ—ed when I was lashed for I was not mâ—self when I was without thee neither desiring nor discerning that which was good nor yet shunning nor yet seeing thaâ— which was evil I became in the Passage of all my Actâ—ons not only foolish but altogether sensless for thou are truth and I was 〈◊〉 out thee and thou art Life and I was 〈◊〉 out thee and as one that always continues in places of unsavoury smells perceiveth no annoyance or as a brutish and savage Life seems civil to him who hath continually been brought up in the same because Custom changeth into Nature and one Contrary is not known but by the other even so I did not think my self in Misery because I never knew what Felicity meant and because I never knew either the Beauty or Stability of a vertuous Life I did not think that vice had made me so unseemly and so unsound continual use confirmed Impudency and took from me the Opinion of Sin True it is that I found a few Sparks of thine Image within me but they were few indeed and of little force which I did so continually quench or abuse that thro' them I can expect no profit at all but rather to be made inexcusable before thee Alas how am I deformed how am I defiled O Almighty God and Everlasting Father My fainting Soul groaneth and gaspeth for thy Grace but it is abashed at thy Glory I would fain intreat thy Mercy to heal me but I am loth to offend thy Majesty in beholding me I am ashamed to lay open my Iniquities and yet woe is me I cannot appear before thee withouâ— them Ah these my sins how do they distress how do they distract me they desire to be seen but they are unwilling to be shewn lest they should be detested they are not healed without Confession and they are not heard without Confusiâ—â—â— If they be covered they cannot be cured and if they be opened they must needs be abhorr'd In the mean time their sharpness pierceth and their weight pressetâ— me they torment me with Grief the astonish me with Fear they confound mâ— with Shame What shall I say or what shall I do Wretch that I am whither did I bend my pace and to what pass am I now come what have all my Pleasures been unto mâ— but as Fruit eaten before it be ripe which will set the Teeth on edge and posseâ— the Body with dangerous Diseases What have I been in all my Travels in the Affairs of the World but as a sick Man tumbling and tossing in his Bed he expecting ease in his change and contentment yeâ— both of us deceived alike because whitheâ— soever we turn our selves the cause of ouâ— disquiets remaineth within us O Christ I did not set thee before my Eyes and 〈◊〉 I dare not appear in thy sight I rejoyced but not in thee I am troubled but thou art not with me Alas better it were to be nothing than to be without thee without whom all things are nothing better it were to be dead than to be without thee our Life Therefore O my Soul wicked wretched Soul shake off this death of Sin wherein thou wallowest and wherein thou wanderest raise up rouse up thy self from this dangerous dulness call to thy consideration unhappy Creature from whence thou runnest where thou art and whereto thou hastenest the favour which thou forsakest the horror wherein thou abidest and the terror whereto thou rendest Thou wast once wash'd clean with the Heavenly Fountain of Baptism with the pure Robe of Righteousness endowed with the Joys of Heaven and espoused to thy Saviour Christ but now thou hast by impurity of Life soiled thy self with sin defiled that glorious Garment broken those sacred Bands and made thy loving Spouse both thy great Enemy and severe Judge O Christ how can I forget thy Goodness and yet how dare I remember thy Greatness since I have denied thee with Peter betrayed thee with Judas and run from thee with the rest of thy Disciples nay more with the cursed and cruel Jewâ— I have mocked blasphemed buffered and scourgâ—d thee spit upon thy glorious Facâ— and torn open thy tender Wounds Ther since I have committed their cruelty what hope can I have to avoid their Curse that thy Blood be not upon me and my Posterity Alas miserable Wretch in what Patâ— have I walked In what Pollutions have wallowed and in what perplexities an now plunged wherein the consideration both of Good and Evil tormenteth me a like of Good with grief of that which have lost of Evil partly with sense oâ— that which I sustain and partly with feaâ— of that which I expect I have lost Glory I feel Shame I feaâ— Punishment the loss is by me irreparable the shame inexcusable the fear inconsolable O miserable Estate O uncomfortable Condition not only to be depriv of unspeakable Joys but also to be aflicted with intolerable Pains O Sin the defiler the deformer the destroyer of Souls from how high a pitch â— Happiness hast thou dejected me 〈◊〉 how deep a Gulf of Misery hast thou depressed me with what a World of Woes hast thou inclos'd me here Woe and there Woe and a very Hell of Woes is heaped upon me Justly Lord justly am I thus tormented for I have been faint yea false in the charge thou hast committed unto me I have thrown away my spiritual Weapons I have forsaken the Field of Christian Combate and not only cowardly yielded but Traitor-like I have turned to the Prince of Darkness my greatest Enemy I have cast off my Saviour and cast away my self I have forsaken the Society of Saints and joyned my self to a company of the Damned O Hellish Companions I have abandoned the Palaces of Heaven and built me a Nest in the loathsome Den of Hell I am altogether become an Abject from God and a Subject to the Devil What hast thou done O mad Man O mischievous O monstrous Man what hast thou done what a woeful exchange hast thou made what a lamentable loss hast thou incurred O perverse Will O miracle of madness How O God hath Corruption depraved me How O God â—hall Satisfaction restore me Cast thy self forlorn Wretch into the uncomfortable Dungeons of Sorrow overwhelm thy self with Mountains of bitter Mourning come Grief come Horror come Anguish come Fear heap your selves upon me wrap me in weigh me down I have impudently contemned you I have desperately provoked you and now do miserably call for you So so it is just afflict the Wicked torment the Guilty revenge the Injuries revenge the Perjuries which I have committed against God give me a touch of the Tortures which I have deserved give me a taste of the Banquet which I have prepared
short Joys linked together â—ur seven years of plenty are past no mentiâ— no memory remaineth of them your â—â—ry is vanish'd your felicity is swallow-up in the Sea of Sorrow your Pleaâ—es are turn'd into Serpents in your â—â—es into Bellows which blow up the â—e to torment you And altho' this Fire be of one only sort â—t doth it not in one sort torment the â—mned but yieldeth to every Sinner a deâ—ee of Punishment answerable to the deâ—ee of his Transgression even as when â—ny stand under the scorching Sun all are â—t vexed with Heat alike but as their Boâ—es are differently disposed so doth one â—mplain above another and therefore that which is a property of our material Fire by reason of diversity of Bodies is proper also to the Fire of Hell by reason of diversity of Sins for as the same material Fire burneth not Straw Wood and Iron a like so the same Hell fire perplexeth different sinners in a different sort because not so much the Persons as the Sins of Men are the proper subject of this burning the eternal Fuel of these Flames But this Pain of Sense is far surmounted as Divines hold Opinion by another Pain which they term the Pain of Loss because that which the Damned do feel in Hell iâ— nothing comparable to that which they forego and that is to be deprived both oâ— the Society and Sight of God wherein consisteth the Essential Glory of the Saints for the more good a thing is the greater Pain and Grief doth it cause in being either not attained or lost And therefore seeing that God is infinitely good noâ— only comprehending but exceeding the perfection of all things and therewith the last end of our desires and the perfect Rest of a reasonable Soul it followed that all the other Torments of Hell do noâ— so much afflict the Soul as to be deprived for ever of him It cannot be expressed it cannot be conceived as how excellent and glorious is the â—ight and enjoyment of God so what Punishment it is to be deprived thereof Mâ—â—y are so weak in judgment that they deâ—ire no more than to escape Hell but there â—s a far greater Torment than the Torment of Hell it is a greater Torment to be shut â—ut of Heaven than to be perpetually imprisoned in Hell Hell is intolerable but â—uch more intolerable than to be depriv'd â—f the Glory of Heaven than to be hated â—f Christ than to have him turn away his â—oul-satisfying Countenance than to shut is amiable Eyes than to say unto us Dâ—â—art from me ye cursed I know ye not O â—weet Jesus suffer us not I beseech thee â— taste of these Torments suffer us not seâ—ure Souls lightly to esteem it at least sufâ—er us not with a high pace to hasten unto â— So much as thy Glory and Beauty doth â—â—ceed the Torments of Hell so much is â—e Torment greater to be deprived of the â—â—e than to be possessed with the other And besides these common Torments â—â—ery Offender shall have his particular â—ains according to the difference of his â—ns either in quality or kind The Proud shall be abased and beaten under foot the Covetous shall be crushed with the weight of their want the Gluttonous shall be devoured with ravenous hunger the Drunkard shall be dried up with scorching thirst the Lascivious and Unchaste shall be wrapt up in the Embrace of stinking stinging and scorching Flames they that regarded not the Poor crying tâ— them for a crumb of Bread shall becomâ— there both endless and successless Beggaâ— for a drop of Water they that would noâ— in this Lifeonce think on these Pains therâ— by to bridle their Affections shall there bâ— reason of their extensive sense of them bâ— able to think upon nothing else and in liâ—â— manner the rest by weight and measure so that according to the Glory and Plesure they did enjoy Misery and Tormeâ— shall be proportioned to them whereâ— as well the Beauty and Order of God's â—stice as also both the manner of their Eâ—cess and the measure of it shall perfectâ— appear All this doth the Scripture in diveâ— places declare in that it saith In Hell Hunger and Thirst wailing and gnashiâ— of Teeth Two-edg'd Swords Wornâ— Serpents Scorpions Hammers Worâ— wood Water mingled with Gall tempestuous Spirits and Spirits created for Revenge By all which Expressions as well the greatness as also the multitude and variety of Torments are signified which the damned shall for ever endure Finally then shall be poured upon the damned the full Flood of God's Wrath which he hath gathered together upon all the Sins that have been committed since the beginning of the World and all the Torments that possibly can be imagined shall then be heaped upon their Heads Nay all the Torments which in this Life either have been invented or can be imagined do stand in no comparison whether for sharpness or continuance with the Torments of that place which altho' they shall be common to many yet they shall be most heavy upon those that have had the best Means and Opportunities to avoid them And not only all these Pains but any one of them shall be so grievous and so intolerable as that it is impossible for the Wit of Man either to express or imagine for so much as the least Torment of Hell â—hat can be conceived is more than we can possibly conceive and yet shall no Creaâ—ure be griev'd for them and endure they must be without any hope First of Intermission And Secondly of Abatement Thirdly of Change without which things not only painful and indifferent but thingâ— pleasant as appeareth by the Manna God sent down to the Children of Israel become insupportable Fourthly of the pooâ— Comfort of Calamity Pity but on the contrary the Devils shall upbraid them the Damned curse them and the Saintâ— deride them Lastly of End for nothing is perfectly great which hath anâ— End If there might be any End of these Torments altho' it should be after so many millions of Years as there are drops of Water in the Sea as there are Motes of Duâ— upon the Earth as there hath been Moments of time since time began it woulâ— be some comfort to those that do enduâ— them but Eternity is intolerable untâ— them infinite Eternity breaketh theâ— Hearts Eternity is the very Hell of Helâ— If all the Punishments in Hell were nâ— greater than the stinging of Ants or â—â— Fleas Eternity is enough to make them in tolerable the present sense of Pain is no so grievous to the Damned as it is grievoâ—â— to think that after many Millions of Agâ— they shall be as far either from End or Ease as they were at the first day of their beginning It is certain that a thousand Pleasures make no satisfaction for one exquisite torment because the torment is without ease and pleasures are not without Composition and Allay and if they do not make satisfaction for one Torment much less infinite
